Coder, not artist.

Neo4j 3.x added a new transport protocol called ‘Bolt’ in essence a binary transmission protocol to speed up connectivity to the database, and with a series of official drivers – get everyone on an even keel.

Trouble is, changing from Neo4jClient to Neo4j-Driver is a big pain, for two main reasons:

1. You lose all the fluent setup you get with Neo4jClient (Cypher.Match(“”).Where(“”) etc)

2. You lose all the object mapping (.Return(u => u.As<User>()))

Some people would be happy to just be able to add text and lose 1, but 2 is a big deal breaker. Plus, if you have any amount of code – swapping it out would just take a long time. I happen to have a relatively large codebase using Neo4jClient (Tournr) and I’m quite frankly not willing to swap out.
